God wants prayer offered in spirit and in truth. We can never underestimate the power of Christian prayer. Prayer is the one thing that can conquer God Himself. As Tertullian the priest writes: ...prayer gives strength to the weak, heals the sick, exorcises the possessed...Prayer cleanses from sin, drives away temptations, stamps out persecutions, comforts the fainthearted, gives new strength to the courageous, brings travelers safely home, calms the waves, confounds robbers, feeds the poor, overrules the rich, lifts up the fallen, supports those who are falling, sustains those who stand firm. All the angels pray. Every creature prays.
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
